Drones are Discovering Hidden Treasure in the Heatwave
There can’t be anyone in the UK who hasn’t noticed our heatwave unless you’re living in a super air conditioned basement but it’s not just making us all buy barbecue food, the hot dry conditions are actually revealing some secrets that have been hidden and undiscovered in our landscapes. I’m sure they’ve been visible during similar periods of weather before but we’ve never had the chance to so easily put a camera in the sky.
Normally at this time of year, the fields would be covered in green lush crops and grass but now that this isn’t the case, the imprints of old buildings, settlements and even a world war 2 runway are making themselves visible from the air. One drone pilot even discovered a hitherto unknown henge which academics have shown a lot of interest in. Of course once the rains come back, and they surely will, these hidden images will fade away but what a chance to discover a little more about the UK with just the flight of a drone.

The partnership between drone pilots and insurance loss adjusters is a perfect fit for claims assessment. Drones provide a unique aerial perspective, capturing detailed imagery and data of affected areas. Drone pilots efficiently survey large and hazardous locations, while adjusters evaluate claims and interpret the collected data. This collaboration enhances efficiency, reduces evaluation time, promotes safety, and ultimately benefits policyholders and insurance companies.
We supported a large thermal inspection project across three residential buildings by providing certified Level 3 thermographic reporting based on drone data collected by the client. Using a protocol we developed, they captured radiometric thermal images, which we analysed remotely to identify heat loss, glazing issues, and roof moisture indicators. This collaborative approach showcases how our clients can carry out surveys independently, while we deliver professional-grade thermographic interpretation and reporting — cost-effectively and without needing site access.
